Song Lyrics

It’s no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It’s no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
You know I don’t see you when she walks in the room

It’s no secret that a friend is someone who lets ya
help
It’s no secret that a liar won’t believe anyone else
They say a secret is something ya tell one other person
So I’m telling you… child

[Bono]

A man will rise
A man will crawl
On the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall
It’s no secret at all

[Edge]

Love…We shine like a falling starWe’re fallin’ from the sky…

Tonight

It’s no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a
pest
It’s no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief

[Bono]

(Oh and love)

A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall
That’s no secret at all

[Edge]

Love…We shine like a burning starFallin’ from the sky…

Tonight

Achtung Ya’ll

[Bono]

A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall
It’s no secret at all

A man will beg
And a man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall
That’s no secret at all

[Edge]

Oh love…We shine like a burning starFallin’ from the sky…

Tonight

It’s no secret that the stars are falling from
the sky
The universe exploded ‘cause of one man’s lie
Look, I gotta go, yes I’m running outta change
There’s a lot of things, if I could I’d rearrange

Yeah, oh yeah
